200

[Steve wright]

My mate has a red 200 2012 20k one owner akropovik and some other bits looking around 10k which is top of my budget what do you guys think.

think its a bit much tbh..

Top-top money. But low-low miles and a very late one

You know: He might just get it....

It is top money, but an akro will cost you around 1k, hard to comment on the 'other bits' nice to know who your buying from and history of the car which buys you some peace of mind, low miles to which depending how you look at it could be good or bad.

Its hard to really comment fully as we have no idea of the condition of it - i looked at one similar miles, 1 owner LY - it was an absolute dog of a thing, but on paper it should have been a minter.

You could probably get a Raider for less - all depends what spec you want, what you want to end up doing with it etc.

10k is a lot however if you like it go for it! Also if he's a mate I'm sure he'd haggle on the price

I’d be wanting to pay lower than that.

Mileage is nice but consider belts will need doing next year. So budget in £500+ for that. Also check tyres, as it still might be on factory rears which will probably be getting low.

I’d be wanting all the goodies also for that price..

Sometimes knowing a car’s history is invaluable.

I bought a 2007 R27 with only 54,000 miles a few months ago. I’ve since spent £1000s refreshing the whole suspension, brakes, changing wheels and tyres, full belts service and little bits here and there. So far I’m not too far away from where you’re looking. Bonkers I know, but I really wanted an R27.

So what I’m trying to say is, it’s swings and roundabouts, buy newer and get something that is still in great condition and doesn’t need too much expenditure, or buy older and be ready for possible bills. I’ve always bought with my heart, which has as you’d imagine not always turned out well, but cars to me are more than just transport and more about something you love and can cherish, whether that be thrashing the living daylights out of it on track or polishing it every Sunday and showing it.

Good luck and post some photos of your final choice once it’s arrived
